Welcome, I’m so happy you’re here! I enjoy working with individuals struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions. Being a recent college graduate myself (in 2022), I know how challenging it can be to try to find your place in the world. It can be overwhelming and confusing which is why my goal is to work alongside you to help establish & accomplish your desired goals/personal growth. I aim to find the right balance between challenging you to achieve your full potential & just meeting you where you’re at. I work with ages 10+, teens, and adults.

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes with highs, lows, and everything in between. I assist clients of all ages identify and explore problems that may be getting in the way of a rewarding life, a better self image, or more fulfilling relationships. I have a passion for helping people find their inner strength and overcome obstacles while emphasizing on healing and growth. I enjoy working with pre-teens, adolescents, and adults.

Hello! I am a strength based, narrative, emotion focused therapist, and self-identified philosopher. I’ve been working in the field since 2012 with experience in multiple settings, including outpatient, in-home, school-located, and residential dual, mental health and chemical dependency, services and have worked with diverse individuals, couples, and families. However, my heart lies with adolescents, couples, and family work. As an artist, I enjoy helping others find their own creativity and hold a deep passion for life and its beauty. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships dynamics are areas of specialty.

Make the hard stuff go away. As a therapist, I will remind you that you aren't broken. Give you room to access your own wisdom. Support you in figuring out what to do. Recognize that you are the expert on your own life. Remember that only you know what is best for you. Honor that I don't know it all. Collaborate with you on how to make the hard stuff easier to sit with."

We are not meant to live in isolation. From the moment we are born, our identity and sense of self is tied in with those around us. Over time, it may shift from parents to peer groups to intimate partners, but how we interact with others is at the core of our emotional well-being. Parenting comes with a unique set of questions, self-doubt, and high stakes. For many of us, it may activate unresolved hurt or resentment from our own childhood or invite feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty. Our intimate relationships are another significant part of our lives. Clients can learn how to connect, improve understanding, and strengthen their intimate relationships by moving past the cycles that break down communication and build walls of hurt and defensiveness. Couples can re-establish that “spark,” share a vision of a connected future, and feel both valued and validated by their partners. Experiencing trauma impacts our ability to connect with and receive connection from others. Sometimes we get so stuck in that trauma that it shifts our view of the world and can permanently alter our perception. Therapy is a place to process through this experience, so you can move forward with life.

My clients have experienced Big T or little t traumas, or they're anxious and overthinking. My clients have been harmed by past relationships or experiences and often don't feel "heard" by the significant people in their lives. Some clients need help identifying and processing long-held feelings, some need someone to come alongside and help them navigate a tough time in life. My clients don't want to feel alone anymore. They want to move ahead and replace their burdens with hope.

Navigating relationships of all kinds can be difficult at times. Other times, we might struggle to strengthen or maintain our relationships when life gets challenging.
